(Closed) Cushion Modified Brilliant??

First time poster looking for some advice on whether to buy a diamond or not. I am set on buying a Tacori 2620 with pave. It is my girlfriend’s dream ring, whether she wants to admit it or not. I want to get something around 1.15-1.30 ct but I’m finding it increasingly hard within my price-range. I know some people do not like cushion modified brilliance because of the “crushed ice” look but I saw a nice one today. Below are the specs:

Is this a good deal? It was a nice diamond but I didn’t see it mounted. Should I be concerned that it’s a cushion modified brilliant instead of regular? Also, should I be concerned about the symmetry? I read that symmetry should not be a reason to dismiss a diamond unless it’s below Good.

@canarydiamond Thank you! I saw it at the jewelry store today and I really liked it. So did the two friends that went with me haha No black spots. It also doesn’t have a crushed ice appearance but idk how it will look in ambiant light

I have a CMB and I LOVE it! It’s 1ct but clarity and color were higher than your stats posted.. picked mine in person over the larger ( 1.25ct H colored) diamond which was classified as a Cushion Brilliant – aside from the the obvious color difference my CMB performed better in terms of brilliance and sparkle in both store and outdoor lighting.

I also want to add that it’s symmetry was stated as good – and it still sparkles like a mofo – the fact that mine (like above) has “excellent” polish really helps the overall cut. It’s unfortunate that with fancy cuts GIA doesn’t give a rating on the “cut” but you should be able to do your own assessment based of the Table percentage and overall thickness of the rock.

@planner007: where are you getting this stone? That price seems a little too good, even for an SI1. Keep in mind that cushion modified brilliants have a high facet rate and inclusions can be super visable in due to the depth of the cut.

All this said, if it’s a real GIA cert from a legit dealer (meaning it’s real) it seems like a good deal. Do you have the GIA spec sheet? Seeing where the inclusions are will make a huge difference in price. I say all this as someone who has a cushion modified brilliant and who’s Fiance spent the better part of 3 months researching them (including pricescope ha) I <3 a cushion.
